The following questions are case -based questions. Each guestion has an internal choice
and carries 4 (1+1+2) marks each. Read the passage carefully and answer the questions
that follow.
29. The chemistry of coordination compounds is an important and challenging area of modern
inorganic chemistry. During the last fifty years, advances in this area, have provided
development of new concepts and models of bonding and molecular structure, novel
breakthroughs in chemical industry and vital insights into the functioning of critical
components of biological systems.
Coordination compounds are of great importance. These compounds provide critical
insights into the functioning and structures of vital components of biological systems.
Coordination compounds also find extensive applications in metallurgical processes,
analytical and medicinal chemistry.

30. There are many phenomena which we observe in nature or at home. For example, raw
mangoes shrivel whern pickled in brine (salt water); wilted flowers revive when placed in
fresh water, blood cells collapse when suspended in saline water, etc. If we look into these
processes we find one thing common in all, that is, all these substances are bound by
membranes. These membranes can be of animal or vegetable origin and these occur naturally
such as pig's bladder or parchment or can be synthetic such as cellophane. These membranes
appear to be continuoussheets or films, yet they contain a network of sub microscopic holes
or pores. Small solvent molecules, like water, can pass througi these holes but the passage of
bigger molecules like solute is hindered. Membranes having this kird of properties are known
as semipermeable membranes (SPM).
